you seem to make a big deal out of the persecution of palestinians, as do all muslims. actually, muslims probably bitch more than any other group about persecution. i knew an egyptian kid (real nice kid) that would get real heated about the supposed persecution of muslims in egypt by the minority of christians that lived there. what the fuck planet did he live on?
to be fair to jewish people, we still have a large group of black people in this country that bitch about inequalities due to slavery. latin american day laborers complain about unfair working conditions. jewish people by no means are the only group that makes a big deal of these issues.
the only group of people in this country that don't seem to bitch about anything are asians (chinese, japanese, korean, etc...).
he's palestinian (i believe - or at least muslim)....which explains his harsh views about israel.

No one making a big deal about it, they're addressing it because it's an issue in the present defying every ethical norm known to mankind. The effects of slavery are also quite legitimate and not something to be ignored or neglected, although it's not the only factor... as is the case in just about everything.
I'm not Palestinian, and my disgust has nothing to with religion. I'm not even Arab (I'm part Arab, although Arab's would never consider me to be Arab). Your assumptions are completely off mark... you might want to question other assumptions you may or may not have, regardless of the subject at hand.
EDIT: Name me one other state or group that the West is completely subservient too regardless of utter disregard for every ethical norm or law. Then you might have a point.

my bad about thinking you were palestinian. i could swear i remember reading that somewhere. i would be extremely surprised if your religion had nothing to do with it. Groups tend to follow similar patterns.
Are you as passionate about Darfur?
how are the effects of slavery a more valid concern than the effects of the attempted extermination of a religious group? That kind of hatred doesn't appear quickly and does not disappear quickly.

Groups do tend to follow patterns, but I've never really associated myself with any... wheather is religious, nationalistic, ideological, or what have you. I wouldn't be surprised at you being surprised, but there's people from all backrounds with equally strong veiws on the issue amongst others, athiests included... a lot of which happen to be secular Jews.

Because there was no attempted extermination of an entire religious group. There was a madman belonging to the Thule Society, funded in part by the Rothchilds and Warburdgs, who wasn't even Aryan and had ideas of Aryan supremacy and creating a perfect aryan nation... all other ethnicities being inferior according to that perspective, even "non-ideal" Aryans. It's true there was plenty of racism and anti-Jewish sentiment in Europe at the time... and towards anyone else too. But let's not make connections that don't exist.
